Buying a car with lower emissions - what's best?
I want to buy a new car with lower emissions. I travel about 30,000 miles a year, which includes my 80 mile round commute. I have £30,000 to spend and would like something fun, with low BIK tax and good fuel economy. I'm considering a Honda CRV 1.6D and Audi A3 Sportback 1.6 and 2.0D and the A5. The new Audi A3 convertible is a bit of a wild card choice. What would you recommend?

A BMW 320dED with a set of winter tyres for the colder months or a Mazda 6 2.2 Skyactiv D 150 SE-L that comes on 17-inch wheels with 55 profile tyres that are apparently ok in the snow. I have one but I have yet to try it in the snow.
Real MPG enables you to register the fuel economy you are actually getting against your make and model of car, its engine and type of transmission.
Every time you enter an average consumption figure against your car, the overall average automatically adjusts to reflect it.
